Prospective birth cohort studies tracking asthma initiation and consolidation in community cohorts have identified viral infections occurring against a...

The aim of this study was to explore associations between severe respiratory infections and atopy in early childhood with persisting wheeze and asthma.

Information is accumulating which implicates airway inflammation resulting from respiratory viral infections, acting against a background of atopy.

In this study, using a mouse model, we determined whether vitamin D deficiency in utero and during early life modulated the severity of asthma.

The goal of the current study was to investigate asthma and mental health among youth in the community.

Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways, most commonly driven by immuno-inflammatory responses to ubiquitous airborne antigens.

Sex-related differences in bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) have been reported in adolescents, but the mechanisms remain obscure.

The airway epithelium forms a highly regulated physical barrier that normally prevents invasion of inhaled pathogens and allergens from the airway lumen.

Atopic asthma is the most common form of asthma, particularly during childhood, and in many cases it persists into adult life.

Vitamin D has been linked in some studies with atopy- and asthma-associated phenotypes in children with established disease,but its role in disease inception...
